I love Welna! Been going here over 40 years. The staff is always helpful. They help.me find what I need quickly. They can special order items or I can order online and ship to store. They will deliver certain items. Bought 20 bags of woodchips and they dropped it off in front of my garage the next day. So many services. I've used the window and screen repair quite a bit. Can get just a piece of glass custom sized, although prices have gone up. And I miss Vern - he was the best and fast. They don't try to pressure you to buy certain things. And cannot beat the price of making key duplicates. I have only once had to have a key remade because it did not quite fit. No charge for the redo. And they remember the brands of tools I like, the paints I use. ,(even just mixed a can of paint I had from somewhere else that had been sitting too long. I cannot say enough good things.

Pretty good hardware store. Not very big but they got plenty products to search thru. Thet have good customer service and it's a great spot to open up a business account if you have employees that need to frequent a hardware store they can just go in and get what they need and put the bill on the business account just have the employee give a job location and a job location name for a PO and their all set no payment needed say the counter. The parking lot is rather small so if you driving a big work truck or something similar you might want to make sure you will be able to maneuver and park your vehicle in the right parking lot before pulling in especially if it looks busy and their are others vehicles in the lot but most of the time I believe it will be fine for most vehicles.

  • Paul Janssen

They've been been there since 1954. I've been shopping there since '75. If it's hardware or related and they don't have it, you don't need it. If you have a question, they'll answer it truthfully even if they don't make a sale. They have saved me a ton of money over the years by showing me simpler, faster and cheaper ways of doing things. You only have to buy the number things you need, for example; if you need two bolts, you get two bolts not a 20 pack. And the folks there are extremely nice. And if you ask a 'stupid' question they answer it without being condescending. Its important that we support businesses like Welna. Ever thought about asking someone at Target which paint is best for your project?

  • Shane Stgermaine

I used to love this place but the last time i was here i was followed around by staff immediately upon entering the store as if i were going to steal. Not one of the staff that were following me asked if i needed help they just disappeared around into the next isle. Never have i felt so mistreated and uncomfortable i found what i went in to buy and made my way out of there. Ill never shop this establishment again and I've been coming here since i was kid! The one positive thing Welna ace still has going for it is free popcorn. Id just rather drive to a big box store for my hardware needs Then to be followed around as soon As i step foot into the store and made to feel unwelcomed. This place gets an F.

  • Ryan Golias

This is my favorite neighborhood hardware store. Welna's is my go to place for hardware and fasteners, keys, and anything small I need. I go here frequently for work, and stop by whenever I can for my own home. Help is always easy to find at Welna's, and always top notch. I've learned a lot, and been able to complete a lot projects with the help of Welna staff. I'd easily recommend this place as the best hardware store in Minneapolis.

  • Tessa Yessa

Immediate, helpful service. I was having keys made, which is loud. My friend who has autism was along and yelled at the employee to "quiet down!" The employee did not bat an eye, and instead said "yeah it is loud! Try covering your ears, that helps." My friend then covered his ears and all was well. Really appreciate the employee's friendly and accomodating demeanor, helped my friend relax and kept him from having to go outside.

  • Rebecca S

I called to see if they had a garbage disposal part I needed. Immediately, the person who answered the phone shared they didn't have what I needed, but made a quick and reasonable recommendation of where to go to find it. I was on the phone with the recommended parts supply depot and had the part I needed and garbage disposal fixed in less than 2 hours. I appreciate the quick recommendation and friendly demeanor!

  • Benson Benson

This is simply the best hardware store in Minneapolis. They may not have everything, but the customer service makes up for it in spades. Not to mention that they will order anything you need if you have time to wait for your project. I always try here first and most of the time they have exactly what I needed plus some stuff I did not know I needed =)

  • Gianni Quilici

This is my neighborhood Ace and they’ve been great! I’m here a few times a month. They have a great selection for the size of the store and they’re always willing to order more items if I let them know ahead of time. A real life saver when you just need that one screw or hand tool, and a pillar in the community. Highly recommend!

  • AL Genaro

Support your local hardware store. Great folks that are really helpful. They can order things for you and they have delivery and you can get things serviced there. Just ask them and they will help you figure it out or point you in the right direction. Also appreciate their signs in support of all people :)

  • Emma Guttchen

We stopped here to get a torque screwdriver to use on my car- the auto parts store didn't have what we need so we stopped here. The man who helped us came out and tested the screwdrivers to make sure we got one that fit and was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

  • Kevin A

Always love these stores. The help is nothing short of amazing, and the product selection is huge. Whenever I am having finding things for a project, I always stop at the closest Ace to find it. More often than not, I am able to find the part or a part that will accommodate my needs.

  • Cassie Mil

Skip Home Depot, and opt for a team of professionals who are knowledgable and mind blowingly customer service oriented. It is worth another couple bucks to stick to this local establishment. My handymen, who have worked in our community for 20+ years won't go elsewhere. Enough said.

  • Atlas Gizzi (Anna)

Thank you so much to the red headed gentleman with a beard who helped my Mom shop today. I couldn't go with her and she has chronic pain issues and couldn't carry the basket and find items. She and I are both so grateful. You are a literal angel.

  • Rick Thompson

I might be a little bias but Everytime I go in to get something they're always so helpful and knowledgeable haven't had a disappointing experience yet. One the last few neighborhood hardware stores, you can't get service like this at a big store.

  • K D

Always a pleasure to visit this establishment!! They're not like the other Ace Hardware's that hound you like a used car salesman as you walk around the store. I know they're trying to keep theft down, but the last thing I stole was one

  • Avis Thomas

Fine service. Owners are warm, respectful, and salt of the earth. They have old fashioned oil based floor paint for my deck floor, which is getting hard to find - obnoxious fumes, but a better, more durable finish when cured.

  • Kamran Hayat

now this is how hardware shopping should be knowledgeable staff a friendly service the quick response and no BS or games. highly recommend this place above any other box store. Pity I can only get 5 stars and not more!

  • David Haschka

For a relatively small store they have a remarkably complete selection of hardware and complementary merchandise. The staff are always friendly, neighborly, helpful and competent. Shopping there is almost a treat.

  • Chelsea Louviere

15 year customer. Appreciate the friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff. Has saved me lots of money over the years with assistance and recommendations. I like that they hire from the neighborhood, it appears.

  • Racquel Naylor

They are very helpful when you're trying to pick out paint. We planned to paint our living room and it turned out beautiful. By the way, the color we got was Pomegranate Seeds. Strange name, but beautiful color.

  • sherry williams

Right away a person was there to help us out to find what we needed and if we needed anything else very clean store reasonably priced little out of the way but was just what we needed at the time

  • Sean Simmons

Never had any problems with these guys. They're on point and helpful. Today I walked in with a padlock, needing an identical lock and I was, lock in hand and out the door in about 45 seconds.

  • MN flying chair

When you need help you get help and if they don't have the part they try and point you in the right direction to get the part that she need but I've always gotten the parts here that I need.
